This comic was a disappointment to me. Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have the talent to be funny and get their point across without cursing. I think of my own childhood growing up reading comics. I believe it is inappropriate for cursing to be part of the comics because children are very likely to be reading them. Cursing disregards and minimizes the innocence of children, and that cannot be replaced. The Zits cartoon started out with teenage angst and innocence. And it was funny. But the more Zits pushes the envelope, the less funny it becomes. It is my hope that Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman will return to the innocence their comic strip started with.

Really, ma’am. Stop censoring yourself and the world. We’re all out here speaking loudly exactly the way we want. Open your mind and expand your horizons because the days of shutting up and being withdrawn are over. Welcome to humanity.

“True humanity” doesn’t need to dumb itself down with vulgar language.
I was disappointed- my little children love reading zits comics with me on the computer. I think it’s important to remember that comics reach many age levels.
